The Lynching of Claude Neal. N.A.A.C.P: New York, 1934. 8.5" x 11" inches. 8 pages. Includes photographs of Claude Neal's body, a cabin like his mother's burned by the lynch mob, and a page full of news headlines promoting the lynching. Report issued and conducted by the N.A.A.C.P into the lynching of Claude Neal. Neal was a 23 year old African American farmhand arrested in Jackson County, Florida on October 19, 1934 for allegedly raping and killing Lola Cannady, a 19 year-old white woman. The evidence against Neal was circumstantial at best, not sufficient to prove him guilty of the crime. When news got out about his arrest, white lynch mobs gathered. Neal was moved to multiple jails including 100 miles from Jackson County to Alabama. A mob of around 100 white men from Jackson County broke in and took Neal back to Florida. The lynching was a publicized spectacle set to take place at the Cannady farm, but the crowd got restless, torturing and murdering Neal in secret before his body was dragged from a truck and hung in the courthouse square. When the sheriff cut the body down, a large crowd demanded it be displayed, this time on the courthouse steps. The N.A.A.C.P conducted their own investigation written up in this report which concludes the lynching was premeditated, was publicized so local officials must have been aware and did not protect the prisoner sufficiently for the clear threat. Light foxing to front and back pages. Creases where report was originally folded. Stamp reading "FILE COPY" on front page. The lynching of Claude Neal caused national outrage and exposed the limitations of state and federal policies on the crime. Overall good condition.
Action for Today newsletter. Civil Rights Congress of New York: 1947. Mimeographed newsletter measures 14 x 8.5 inches. 2 pages. Newsletter regarding the anti-lynching bill before Congress reads in part, "Despite political promises of 1946 elections, neither the Republican leadership nor the administration have found it 'politically expedient' to do anything whatever to stop the growing lynch terror against the Negro people in our country." The first federal anti-lynching bill was introduced in 1918 in the House of Representatives before southern Democrats blocked its Senate passage. Some version of the bill was reintroduced throughout the rest of the twentieth century and continuously blocked. It would not be until 2020 that the Emmett Till Anti-lynching Act was passed and signed into law in 2022, making lynching a federal crime at long last. The newsletter details the 1947 anti-lynching bill H.R. 3488 and goes on to list actionable steps for readers. Creased where folded. Very light toning to edge of front page. In very good condition.

Small archive of two pamphlets with transcripts of speeches concerning anti-lynching legislation. THURMOND, J. Strom. President Truman's So-Called Civil Rights Program. Columbia, SC: [Columbia Democratic Party], 1948. BYRNES, James F. Inaugural Address of the Honorable James F. Byrnes as Governor of South Carolina. Columbia, SC: N.p., 1951. At the time that this description is being written, just five copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. Together, 2 pamphlets, 8vo. In a statewide radio address, Strom Thurmond vehemently opposes President Truman's Civil Rights Bill including, notably, its anti-lynching provision. He warns that any intrusion of federal government on states rights will lead to future violations, a familiar strategy for opposing both abolition and civil rights. "Does this sound like an American concept to you? Does this kind of thing coincide with your ideas of liberty and freedom which we have fought for and thought we had? If the government in Washington can pass this law, it will have like power to intrude itself into every phase of the daily lies of our people and regulate them in all things, large and small." He makes a point of dismissing the anti-lynching part of the legislation claiming the crime no longer a pressing issue, "The proposed law is unnecessary because enlightened public opinion has virtually stamped out this crime. It has never been a sectional crime, although some would create the contrary impression for propaganda purposes." Lynching, the premeditated and most often widely publicized and promoted murder of African Americans by mob violence, was a common strategy utilizing terror in order to block civil rights efforts. Two years later in his inaugural address, new South Carolina governor James F. Byrnes addresses lynching in shaded language, " If a man violates the law he should be arrested by local officers.If a man does not violate the law, no group of men has the right to assault him or to threaten and intimidate him.I recommend that the Legislature enact a law similar to the Alabama statute prohibiting persons over 16 years of age parading on the streets or highways while masked, and also to prohibit such persons entering upon the premises of a citizen to threaten or intimidate him." He goes on, "I will be the governor. I do not need the Ku Klux Klan nor do I want interference by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." Byrnes goes on to laud a separate but equal South, claiming "The overwhelming majority of colored people in this State do not want to force their children into white schools.what the colored people want, and what they are entitled to, is equal facilities in their schools." Terrorism by mob violence kept African Americans from sending their children to integrated schools or claiming other rights of citizenship. Separate but equal, a linguistic fallacy, marked the ambivalence of southern legislators like Thurmond and Byrne and stalled meaningful change for decades. Lynching continued in South Carolina through the 1960s largely unabated by local or state officials. A federal anti-lynching law was not passed until 2022.

Art / Print / Poster
Condition: Very Good. A striking broadside printed by the NAACP in 1922, likely in support of the Dyer Lynching Bill, which passed the House of Representatives but not the Senate in that year. The NAACP had focused on lynching and anti-lynching legislation from 1916 onward. The organization partnered with Anti-Lynching Crusaders to organize rallies, mobilize volunteers and advertise. This broadside was part of the group's efforts, and takes issue with rape specifically, debunking the theory that rape could justify the thousands of documented lynchings reported from 1889 to 1922. An important and rare piece, which is often found in lesser condition, with a heavily foxed copy selling at Swann Galleries in 2018 ($4,250). Broadside measuring 15 x 10 â inches. Some loss at corners else near fine with fine contrast, light normal wear and free of foxing, very good overall.
